Artificial Metalloproteins for Non-Natural Reactions

The book explores the intersection of organometallic chemistry and biotechnology through the development of biohybrid catalysts, or artificial metalloproteins. It highlights the advantages of natural enzymes, such as high substrate specificity and product selectivity, while addressing their limitations in substrate scope. By combining the diverse library of organometallic complexes with the tunable protein scaffolds, this interdisciplinary approach aims to enhance catalytic efficiency and selectivity, meeting the growing demand for enantiopure products in industrial applications.
